Literacy
|
In Literacy this week we will continue to look at friendship and write a friendship recipe! We will discuss the features of instructions and recipes, highlighting how they need to be clear and precise. Sometimes they are numbered and will use imperative or bossy verbs. The children will work together to look at these features. They will then work in groups to order a friendship recipe; this will then aid them in writing their own using the above features. |
| Maths |
This week in maths we will be looking at the numbers . 1-5 and how they can be partitioned in different ways. We will then look at partitioning them in a systematic way and partitioning numbers 1-5 into two parts.

Please note this is a basic overview of the planning for this week. It is impossible to cover in this outline all the learning that takes place during a week! We also believe in listening to your children and responding to their interests and ideas therefore all our planning is flexible. Please note some of the learning will take place across more than one week and during some weeks the learning focus may not cover all curriculum areas.
